NHTSA Complaint #10113942 — 2002 FORD TAURUS

IN MID JANUARY I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE , 2002 33XI BMW, WHEN I HAD A BLOW OUT OF MY FRONT LEFT TIRE. THE TIRES ARE NOKIAN WR SIZE 205/50R17. I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE HIT A POTHOLE OR SOMETHING ELSE TO CAUSE THE BLOW OUT. YESTERDAY, MARCH 11, 2005 I NOTICED A BLUGE ON MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE ( SAME MAKE). I CALLED JACK WILLIAMS FOR A REPLACEMENT TIRE AND WILL HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED AT MY COST. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TIRES MAY BE DEFECTIVE. I HAD ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED ON 12/01/04 AND HAVE LESS THEN 10,000 MILES ON THEM. I FEEL IT IS TOO IRONIC THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER TIRE AFTER HAVING A BLOW OUT. I COULD NOT FIND THIS MAKE OF TIRE ON YOUR RECALL SYSTEM. ANY ASSITANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *AK
